Two-Faced Woman (1941)(DVD)

Synopsis: Greta Garbo's last movie is nowhere near as bad as contemporary reviews would have you believe, and certainly didn't warrant the most fabulous female screen face of all opting for a retirement that would last until her death almost 50 years later. There's much to enjoy in this sophisticated comedy, especially Garbo dancing the “Chica-Chocka”.

The risqué material led to the Catholic League of Decency condemning the movie, and it was actually banned in Australia, factors that didn't help Garbo's image. Today we can appreciate it for what it is: a well-performed (especially by Constance Bennett and Melvyn Douglas) piece of froth. Trouble was, Garbo's fans thought it unworthy of her, and perhaps so did she.
